Hi Patrick and Allison,

Thanks fortaking time to write comments. Leah shaved her head for her cousin who is undergoing chemo for breast cancer right now. We had many conversations about sacrifice and what it means, and yesterday, while we were talking, I got her permission to photograph her as we talked. It was powerful and cathartic for both of us. #4461006
